A much-needed antidote to our modern, assembly-line approach to childbirth, this new book is designed as a guide for all who wish to participate in the wondrous process of bringing new life into the world. Its ideas derive from two sources: the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, with its emphasis on body, mind, and spirit, and the latest Western scientific prenatal research. By integrating the best information from these two very different perspectives, this remarkable book gives readers the tools to ensure that our children are nourished by thoughts, words, and actions from the very moment of conception.
Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives is rich in practical information, including strategies to help enliven the body intelligence of unborn babies by nourishing each of their five senses, as well as through Ayurvedically balanced nutrition and eating with awareness. Specific yoga poses and meditation techniques reduce the mother’s stress and improve the infant’s emotional environment, as do tips for conscious communication with a partner. Exercises prepare parents for the experience of childbirth itself, followed by natural approaches to dealing with the first weeks of parenting, from healing herbs to enhancing your milk supply to coping with postpartum depression.
Inspiring, expansive, and remarkably informative, this unique book from acclaimed experts in mind-body medicine will profoundly enhance the experience of pregnancy and birth for both parents and baby.

      Two experienced authors and physicians apply Western prenatal science and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to the magical process of growing a child in the womb. The emphasis is on connecting with the needs of one's unborn baby by paying attention to nutrition, reducing stress, and developing awareness of how everything in a mother's life can influence the way a baby develops. The production is a successful effort to integrate Western practicality with ancient spiritual wisdom, and to encourage mothers to take care of themselves and their babies before and after birth. With language that will be accessible to everyone, the audio is sensitively read by Shishir Kurup, whose timing and emotional modulation are flawless. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
